Everyone that is mining at http://qcn.extremepool.org please download the latest miner and connect using stratum to the stratum ports.

This latest pool update will be much more stable and fixes the constant reject issue everyone was seeing with the old software/miner and http ports.

My goal today, now that this update is complete, will be to get many miners and get the pool hash rate up.

Enjoy!!

They will take the GUI from each other.  That will not distinguish them.

Which one is better depend on the first GUI client comes out. No GUI, no better.

indeed

I thought 60 confirms (or 60*2mins = 2 hours) as unlock time for newly mined coins.

https://github.com/quazarcoin/quazarcoin/commit/fad044e0ded3e9f821c0a40a139de36ef4ffc9ee

The link shows the differences between the original Bytecoin code vs. the first Quazarcoin code.
Search for "60" and you will get:
-#define CRYPTONOTE_MINED_MONEY_UNLOCK_WINDOW            10            // for Bytecoin (& maybe Monero)
+#define CRYPTONOTE_MINED_MONEY_UNLOCK_WINDOW            60            //for Quazarcoin

Newly mined coins are prohibited from being spent for 100 confirms (or 120 for the Satoshi client, ~17hours and 20hours respectively) in case of Bitcoin protocol.
I've heard Monero developers discussing about the poorly chosen parameters (including the above), which Quazarcoin fixed.

we need to get this on coinmarketcap https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1IZf5cBivam_93zENT_arFFuvWDidHGjWxoTMVmFSoWg/formResponse

this coin is crazy cheap! better then MRO imo, and a lot of people say MRO is better then DRK! and it's rare, doesn't get much better then this, and it's almost unknown, crazy stuff.

i think there is around 90k mate

Can anyone tell me how many quasar coins have been mined to date?

Thank you in advance!!

Stratum does not work for me, I always get some kind of JSON error with any coin when mining from Windows 7, so I have to use a stratum proxy, and they are hard to find for new coins.

I have looked a bit deeper.  I replaced the simpleminer.exe with one from the monero project, and now the hashrate is reasonable again.  Perhaps the cryptonote-easyminer installs the old unoptimised monero simpleminer.exe (that is expected to be 4.5 times slower).
My hashrate is now reported about 90 H/s by the pool.

If anyone else wants to do this, replace the Binaries/64 or Bineries/32 with the optimised monero simpleminer.exe. Copy you wallet files to the cyptonote-easyminer directory and rename them to wallet, wallet.address.txt and wallet.keys. Actually you can use dummy files for the wallet and keys, only the wallet.address.txt needs to have correct data. You don't need the simplewallet.exe in the Bineries directories, just remove the default one (you don't really want it to run anyway). cryptonote-easyminer complains about the simplewallet.exe being missing, click OK, and it then starts up normally.

The keys file is the one you need to print out. But it's a binary file, so if you really want to do this, use a uuencoder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencoding) to convert the binary file to text. That is a reversible process, so you can recreate the binary file using a decoder, from the text version. I would print the address file as well, it is already text and you may want a record of it, or you can create a new address when you restore your wallet from the binary keys file later.

Personally I would just store the binary file on usb drive or cd, why use paper?

Any command to dump the private key? Can store it as a paper wallet?

the pool is going to be updated to stratum shortly.  there will also be a new miner.

I tried mining with this pool, using the cryptonote-easy-miner as instructed.

Despite my reluctance to run untrusted windows binaries, I gave the binaries release a try but immediately there are problems.
1) It started trying to use a monero version of simpleminer, that it installed itself.  I have no idea which version that is, if if it really is simpleminer. If it optimised or what else it could be doing.
2) It created a monero wallet to use, and tried to mine with the monero key.


After some messing around, I found I could replace the automatically created wallet with my own, had to rename it to be the same names as expected. It is mining now, but the hashrate reported by the mining pool check is way lower than it should be.

I am wondering if maybe that cryptonote-easy-miner is conning me, I have no way of knowing from the simpleminer window if it is simply sending my hashes to some other pool with another key, maybe one thread goes to the configured pool/key and the rest is skimmed off. Or is there some other explanation why the hash rate is reported so low.  I should be getting around 140 H/s with 7 threads, but I get around 6 H/s reported.

I tried another pool, with same results.  I have another server running linux and not using cryptonote-easy-miner, but cpuminer-multi compiled by myself, and that reports the correct hash rate from the pool.

Where does it print to (Windows 7)?


Its not in the log:

Just wanted to remind everyone we have a working pool for QCN up at http://qcn.extremepool.org

Payouts are working we need more hash!
 

come join us on the pool on IRC, Server Freenode channel #extremepool

yes i like this coin !

Nice coin, fair distribution, 120 sec block time... Good parts of BCN + good parts of MRO = QCN
I am glad I discovered this coin.

I'm a dev so I understand but I see this message only since today, I'm on quazar since one week that's why I'm a little surprise, perhaps new version ?
In my own computer, compter's brother and school (yeah I'm a kind of bad guy) I saw this message too.

But if it does'nt affect anything, not a big deal !
